Intracellular communication is achieved at the synapse. The presynaptic neuron discharges an action potential which releases a neurochemicals at the presynaptic membrane. This chemical travels across the synaptic cleft until it is taken up by the postsynaptic membrane receptors. Some synapses are electrical, but most are of a chemical nature as described.

∙ 14y agoIf you're asking what the gap between the neurons is called, it is the synapse.
If your asking what the fibrous looking ends of a neuron are called they are the dendrites.
In general, though, when a nerve impulse travels through a nerve fiber, it actually makes repeated hops between the segments of the myelin sheath (the outer coating of the nerve fiber - under a microscope this sheath looks similar to a string of sausage links). As it approaches the end of the fiber the signal is attached to a carrier protein to travel the synaptic gap and into the receptor dendrites of the next neuron in the signal's path.

What does blood carry - and where does the exchange of substances take place?
blood carry gases like o2,co2...nd the exchange of substances take place in small intestine
How does gaseous exchange take place in Amoeba?

How do you neurons stay in place?
Neurons transmit signals to one another via synapses. Considering there are gaps at the synapse, how do these neurons stay in place? Same for neuromuscular junctions.
